It’s a MySpace world, baby.  The rest of us are just paying rent.

yeah, saw this come across my super alerts and had to read the story before I could believe my own eyes.

Pathetic journalism.

NARAL’s (abortion) political director Elizabeth Shipp acknowledged it “would help” the pro-choice movement if a Republican proved it was possible to win the presidency while still supporting abortion rights (ie… Rudy Giuliani) .

A story worthy of the National Inquirer.  Tabloid style reporting seems to dominate the media these days.


Being liberal is never having to admit you’re wrong

That’s right, MSM.  It’s the bloggers who can’t be taken seriously.

OK so I’m old—what is BFF?

Also, headline writers typically do not consider themselves “journalists”.  Maybe they aspire to be… I’m guessing the writer of the peice is not pleased either.

Best Friends FOREVER! - It’s another acronym the little girls love to use (glad I have a teenager to ask these things).

Jeez. 

Someday we’re going to see a headline on the NYT (the paper version) that reads:

ROFLMAO!!!

(Hopefully by then there won’t even BE a paper version)

Hmm.. BBF has two meanings and both could be used ... although, the second meaning isn’t quite as innocent.

Haha - I had to really focus my acronym decyphering skills to figure that one out!  Dirty girl.
